Home by four, yet still, much more. With eight hours schooling and eight hours dreams, that leaves eight whole hours conceivably free. Unfortunately, everyone knows that nothing is free, at least not for long. Today's student has to balance his leisure time wisely, juggling homework, employment and relaxation. In fact, for some, so - called leisure time is anything but leisurely. I go from school straight to work and hope to have dinner by 10 p.m., said Patrick Andrews 1121. He's not the only work dog at NCHS. According to Christine Owens 1121, she leaves school early at 3 p.m. on work program and still gets home at 10 p.m. I don't mind working every week- night 'cause that leaves me 48 hours every weekend. Don't ask me what I do with those, Owens added. It's no secret. Almost all kids' week- ends nowadays revolve around a common theme: rocking at parties. It's not just the alcohol. I like to I surprised Chris Homan 1121 takes a break UTAG Agent Kim White 1121 moves on to her next vm cruising in his Honda to hit the weekend par victim now that Agent Jenny Kimmel 1121 has been terminated. develop serious relationships, and at parties knocks opportunity, said Chris Homan 1121. For Jeff Schaefer 1121 it's not a weekend without at least one college or high school party. And when I say party, we ain't talking about a school dance, Schaefer added. Actually, not all Normal's student body lives for parties. For Debbie Million 1121, there are concerts and MTV. Million explained, If I can't see it in person, I watch the tube till I can. Nowadays, with the aid of video recorders, kids can tape a flick and on a slow night sit back and watch it. There's been a lot of times that a bunch of my friends get together and watch a tape of Letterman taped from Late Night, explained Dan Sullivan 1121. And with all the recent openings of video rental stores, sitting home watching a box office smash has become a reality. We don't always watch a box office hit, but it's still exciting, added Homan. According to Kenny Frank 1121, the city offers bundles of opportunities to keep almost everyone interested. Why the college alone has so much activity at all times, that it would be impossible to not find something or other to do, Frank explained. In fact the college alone offers such varied activites as bowling or billiards, drama productions, and music concerts ranging from contemporary to classical. And for sports fans there's Hancock Stadium or Horton Fieldhouse where virtually every sportsman's desires are answered. Me and a couple guys go there to work out, swim or play basketball, said Chad Ronnekamp 1121. Actually, it is impossible to nail down how every student spends his leisure time, but unfortunately for parents, most is spent around the home. -Eric Dale 1121 Weekends Leisure Time-17
